McNamara, the Secretary, referred to the long association of Mr. McLean

with the work of the General Post Office, and voiced the general regret at his departure. Mr. A. Gibbs, Chief Telegraph Engineer, also spoke.

He will take up his new position at Wanganui immediately, sue-| ceeding Mr. IL O. Bree, who has retired on superannuation.
